This is the 6th full length album for the band from Bellingham, WA. I became a fan of theirs in 2005 with the release of Transatlantacism, and I have to admit that as they've continued to polish their sound, I've become less enamored of each subsequent releases. Don't get me wrong, this is still a terrific album and well worth a listen. It just seems there's less guitar and more precision here. The songs are also more upbeat than I'm used to (which may be the result of singer/songwriter/guitarist Ben Gibbard's recent marriage to Zooey Deschanel.) Check out the very pretty You Are A Tourist.
